Consider how therapy can support your family in moving towards positive change. A non-judgmental and outside perspective can help your family really listen to each other, consider differing perspectives in a new way, and offer unique strategies to direct you towards your goals.

Hello and welcome! When it comes to the search for a therapist, I know that it can be difficult to find the right fit. My hope is that you can find comfort, acceptance, and the space to express yourself in the time we spend together. I aim to work with you, to get to know you, and to support you with anything you choose to bring into our sessions. Whether it be feelings of anxiety, depression, life transitions, difficulties with relationships or friendships, low self-esteem, loss, or feeling stuck or overwhelmed or anything in between, I'm glad you're seeking support. It can help to share with someone who cares.

I believe that challenges can be beautiful, albeit deeply painful, opportunities to create a life you feel inspired to live There is hope in every situation, and often life’s greatest lessons are learned during its biggest obstacles. Life's not always easy. Hardships and transitions can blindside you and leave you feeling like you’re just trying to survive, and on autopilot. And then the questions come: Who am I? How did I get here? The life you have doesn’t reflect the one you imagined. While we can not change the past, we can choose to create meaning in our experiences, and determine how its legacy comes forward with us.
